If you are 19 or 20 yrs old live by yourself and your 15 yr old sister is being physically abused by your father Is it legally possible for you to get custody of her?

First you should ask for help it is both legally and nothing to be ashamed of, there several degrees of responsibility you can have i don't know where are you from and your options with welfare but somebody surely can give you this information on a local basis .
but i don't see a legal problem with that. good luck.
if you are going to take care of your sister you need to make sure she goes to school, have food , health, and can get what she needs.
in the meanwhile get her some mental help first. and prepare your self for a struggle. i have a good friend who at age 21 became responsible of his young brother (in Brooklyn NY) its hard, but you must understand that you must help her.
